Empower Women and Girls
We have observed depression, anxiety, psychological distress, sexual violence, domestic violence, poor body image, eating disorders and escalating rates of substance use affect women to a greater extent than men throughout the world. We understand various societal, cultural and political factors put women at greater risk of poor mental health than men.
Despite the challenges women have been going through in everyday lives, we have also noticed incredible resilience in our community. The strong desire to grow, the readiness and willingness to seek have been saving us in our darkest moments. And most mental health conditions are treatable when you reach out for help! Let us create a sanctuary for women and girls. Let our loving and caring therapists empower you through feminist, strengths-based and tailored approaches. Let us help you to be your own rescuer!

Eating disorder
The unfortunate reality is that most of us have some distorted ideas about what our bodies should look like. Eating disorders sometimes lead to serious mental and physical health problems, and in severe cases, starvation of the body leads to heart failure and death. Anorexia nervosa has the HIGHEST death rate of any psychiatric illness (including major depression).
